Record company name/profile logo

The music industry, a record label is a brand and a trademark associated with the marketing of music recordings and music videos. There are many different record label's all over the world for all types of genre within the music industry for example;Polydor, Island, Sony, Def Jam, Big Machine Records, Syco, Universal and Warner Brothers. We have decided to use the record label company Big Machine Record because this is the company that signed Taylor Swift and she is are inspiration and role model throughout so we are going to stick by her and go for the same record label company, also they specialize in our chosen genre of county music so it would be prefect.

Big Machine Records is an Independent American record label specializing in country music artists. It was launched in 2005 by former DreamWorks Records executive Scott Borchetta. The label was part of a joint venture between Borchetta and country singer Toby Keith, although Keith dropped his affiliation in 2006.
Big Machine is based in Nashville, Tennessee, and is distributed by Universal Music Group. The label has one Grammy for Album of the Year, awarded to Fearless from Taylor Swift. In November 2007, Big Machine Records founded a subsidiary imprint called Valory Music Group. Acts signed to this roster include Jimmy Wayne (who was formerly signed to Big Machine), Jewel, and Justin Moore. By late 2008, the label began promoting Canadian acts Adam Gregory and Emerson Drive, who are also signed to Midas Records. Big Machine ended promotion for the two artists in 2009. Reba McEntire joined Valory in 2009, in association with her own label, Starstruck. Big Machine joined with Universal Republic in June 2009 to found a new label, Republic Records Nashville.

Costume Planning

This will be the complete outfit worn by the lead singer and female actress when singing on green screen only. A printed white t-shirt with a guitar, brown boots and dark blue skinny jeans. We decided to chose this because our music type is indie/pop/country and this is a typical outfit that a female teenager would wear and also goes with our video with the use of a guitar and this is why we decided on the chosen t-shirt. Worn by Mercedes Sayles.

 

This will be the complete outfit worn by the lead singer and female actress when singing when shooting the beach and Newlands corner scenes. A printed white t-shirt that says "To be or not to be that is the question" William Shakespeare inspired, white converses and light blue skinny jeans. We decided on this outfit because it fits the mood of a romantic love scene or break up. The t-shirt shows both sides just like our music video. Also its just a casual outfit and this is what we want, a normal everyday outfit with a bit of an edge and we believe that the t-shirt will because of showing both side to a love story just like William Shakespeare did. Worn by Mercedes Sayles.

This could be the outfit worn by the backing singer/guitar player and other female actress. Three possible dresses very girly made of lase and very natural colours, with black leggings and flat ballet pumps. We decided on possible using these as an outfit because we want her to look girlie and more attractive than the other female actress showing the audience that she has the edge and she will win the love interest also so it shows her as innocent. Worn by Chloe Alldis.

This could be the outfit worn by the love interest. Smart shirt, branded t-shirt pale/dark jeans and red/black and white vans. We decided on possible using these as an outfit because we want him to look stylish and attractive as he is the love interest and this is a very typical teenage male outfit, also its casual/smart and this is the effect we want, we need him to look good and appealing. Worn by Jamie Barnes.

Location shots

Music in our chosen genre

Our music video genre is very popular in this day and age and the 'Kelly Clarkson' video 'Mr Know It All'   portrays what we have been planning especially. It has many shots that we are using and the edgy performance that she shows is what we want our music video to look like and make the audience feel.
